COOPERATION 



out the city are twenty-one branch hbraries 

 where the cooperatives may obtain books with- 

 out going to the down-town center. In the 

 cooperative stores throughout the city were 

 reading-rooms, or news-rooms, in addition to 

 the large, airy reading-room in the Hbrary 

 proper. The possibihties of cooperation in the 

 United States, particularly among those who 

 are most directly interested in the activities of 

 the New Earth, are essentially limitless. The 

 extension of the system until it includes every 

 department of farm, dairy, range, orchard and 

 town life would be not only far easier of 

 accomplishment in America than in Great 

 Britain, but the results, large as they are in 

 the latter country, must be vastly increased in 

 a country so peculiarly fitted for cooperative 

 endeavor as the United States.
